Karen Taylor is left shaken next week when the loan shark pays her another visit. - Karen recently borrowed money to help pay the bills and feed her family, against the advice of eldest son, Keanu.

After failing for the second time to meet the payment deadline, Karen is horrified to find out that the loan shark has collected Riley and Chatham from their after-school club.



The loan shark doesn't harm the boys, but it is a clear message, one that leaves Karen fearing for her children's safety.

She resorts to trying to sell her belongings in the pub, but she doesn't get anywhere near the amount she needs to pay off the debt.
